"Watching the news and seeing the pain of the Palestinian people makes me cry for the many many generations of Palestine."

In an Instagram post on December 7, model Bella Hadid voiced her opinion about President Donald Trump's declaration that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, which took place a day prior.

"I've been waiting to put this into perfect words but I realized there is no perfect way to speak of something so unjust," Bella, who is of Dutch and Palestinian descent, wrote on Instagram. "A very very sad day. Watching the news and seeing the pain of the Palestinian people makes me cry for the many many generations of Palestine."

Trump's controversial decision to relocate the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem has cause major debate, as both Israelis and Palestinians contest that the holy city is their capital.

"Seeing the sadness of my father, cousins, and Palestinian family that are feeling for our Palestinian ancestors makes this even harder to write. Jerusalem is home of all religions," Bella says. "For this to happen, I feel, makes us take 5 steps back making it harder to live in a world of peace. The TREATMENT of the Palestinian people is unfair, one-sided and should not be tolerated. I stand with Palestine."

According to the Jerusalem Institute, an estimated 850,000 people live in Jerusalem, 37% of whom are Arab and 61% of whom are Jewish. Of the city's Arab population, 96% are Muslim, while the other 4% are Christian.

Ismail Haniyeh, leader of Hamas — a Palestinian Islamist political organization and militant group — called on people to resist.

"We have given instruction to all Hamas members and to all its wings to be fully ready for any new instructions or orders that may be given to confront this strategic danger that threatens Jerusalem and threatens Palestine," Haniyeh said, according to The Independent. "United Jerusalem is Arab and Muslim, and it is the capital of the state of Palestine, all of Palestine."

Bella's Instagram also included a quote by DJs Simi and Haze Khadra (a/k/a SIMIHAZE), "It is absurd that Palestine, a country where Muslims Christians and Jews lived side by side for centuries, has been fighting to be recognized since the inception of Israel in 1948, and to add insult to injury yesterday Trump 'decided' to recognize Palestines capital of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel - as if it's his to give away. This is a violation of international law and a huge setback to any hope for peace. In his speech yesterday, he never once mentioned Palestine but referred to Israel and 'the Palestinian people' as if Palestine never existed. Jerusalem is and always has been the capital of occupied Palestine. Declaring Jerusalem as Israels capital is a calculated move to make Palestinians lose hope of ever gaining statehood in their own country."
